Manhattan pols revive push for 10th Avenue station on No. 7 train in Hell’s Kitchen

Manhattan politicians called on the MTA to build the long-promised 10th Avenue station on the subway’s No. 7 train in Hell’s Kitchen Tuesday.
A stop at 10th Avenue and 41st Street was originally supposed open on the Flushing Line as part of two new stations along its westward extension to the Hudson Yards campus.
But Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials and the city dropped the proposed station 14 years ago and ended up just building one at 34th Street and 11th Avenue.
“That was a huge, huge mistake and a huge missed opportunity,” said local Council Member Erik Bottcher at an Aug. 10 press conference.
“A lot of people live even further west than we are now. It is a very very long walk to the subway.”
